a driver drove 50 miles in 50 minutes. how many miles per hour was he driving?
One mile a minute is 60 mph.
To calculate the speed in miles per hour (mph), you need to determine the number of miles traveled in an hour.
Given that the driver drove 50 miles in 50 minutes, we can convert the minutes to hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so we divide the number of minutes by 60 to get the hours.
50 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.83 hours
Next, we divide the distance traveled (50 miles) by the time taken (0.83 hours) to find the speed.
50 miles ÷ 0.83 hours = 60.24 mph (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the driver was traveling at a speed of approximately 60.24 mph.
